The story behind our coloring books

With lots of work, persistence, and mutual support, we replicate adventures and landscapes on paper – through illustrations of Montenegrin motives which inspire and stories that spark our way to keep exploring. The Montenegrin Colouring Book is a project initiated with the desire to present Montenegro in a different way to our youngsters and those a bit older. The authentic drawings and interesting short stories will bring the joy of exploring to all those who decide to give these cities some of their favourite colours.

A few notes about our team

The story of the team behind the project of the very first Montenegro Colouring Books is infused with female energy, deep and lengthy friendships, and love, creative challenges, and a mutual goal to create magic, thus changing ourselves and the world around us. The strength and energy to accomplish this have been absorbed by those youngest around us who remind us to cherish the kid within ourselves and to have fun with everything we do.
